Uruapan Charanda Cana Morada Single Agricola Rum

Charanda is Mexico's rum — protected by a Denomination of Origin like Champagne — and Uruapan's single-agricola series bottles it one cane variety at a time. The Pacheco family has made charanda in Uruapan, Michoacán, since 1907, at 4,180 feet in the red volcanic soil the Purépecha named the spirit for; the DO, granted in 2003, covers only sixteen municipalities. The Single Agricola line is 100% fresh cane juice — no molasses — pressed from a single variety, fermented, distilled in copper pot stills, and bottled unaged with nothing added; check your label for the exact ABV. Caña Morada is the purple cane, a dark-skinned heirloom variety prized for flavor over yield: expect the series' most aromatic bottle — a nose of fresh cane, ripe tropical fruit, red berry, and a floral, almost grape-like note over the earthy volcanic funk, opening into a rich, fruity, vegetal palate with pepper and a savory, mineral depth, finishing long. Tasted beside the Criolla, Cristalina, Mexicana, and Mayari, it shows how much a cane variety changes a spirit from the same field and still. Honest note: this is a grassy cane spirit for agricole and clairin lovers, and the Morada is the one enthusiasts chase. For a Ti' Punch, a Daiquiri, a neat pour, or the tasting flight, it's Michoacán's purple cane. Since 1907.
